Analyzed how learner-level variables like proficiency, anxiety, and motivation affect feedback outcomes.
Based findings on interactionist theory in second language acquisition.
No single strategy is universally effective for improving fluency and accuracy.
Principled pedagogical flexibility leads to the most consistent gains in oral performance.
Practical implications for EFL classroom teaching are offered.
